Dixon61.jpgSarge told us to straighten this pole177 viewsAnother character from Duc Pho-LZ Montezuma. Picture taken just after erecting tents and getting off the hard ground. I'm on the left and can't remember the guy on the right. He was from the Chicago area and insisted on being called "Mouse" or "Da Mouse". Tore his real name off his fatigues. He burned a lot of incense and got into Bhuddism. Lotsa guys avoided him, but we got along. Always wore sunglasses, even at night.
